You would be better off to roast it offset. Turn on a burners on one side and set
the roast on the other side with a pan underneath to catch the drippings.

Lots of ways to do it. Just yesterday I did a leg of lamb.

Any roast that you'd put in the oven can be done on the grill. For best
results, put the roast on one side and light the burner on the opposite
side. Indirect heat is the easiest to deal with. No special prep is
needed, just rub it down with your favorite spices.

You may want to put a pan under it to catch the drippings.
I also do a lot of rotisserie cooking. Chickens, rib eye, pork loin, all
come out excellent. Put the potatoes over the burner.

For many many years we have been marinating Chuck or Seven Bone roasts and
grilling them. Start with a very hot grill, char both sides, turn down the
grill and let it cook. They are a good value and very tasty meat.

I pretty much follow the same method when doing a roast on the grill. I
have a rotisserie on the grill which I use pretty frequently but not
always. To season the roast I just keep it simple. usually I'll insert
small slivers of fresh garlic into the roast and sometimes I'll roll it in
cracked pepper before putting it on the grill. I did a bottom round last
week and it made some awesome sandwiches.

I have a three burner weber. What I do is use indirect grilling. I turn
the front and back burners on and leave the middle one off. Works great
for me.
